**Flavour** pertains to how //Euphoric// the interface is. A "Euphoric" flavour feels more compatible with the way Euphoria code is written. An un-Euphoric flavor feels more compatible with the original design of the toolkit ~-- it may be distinct, more 'C' than Euphoria, more OS specific than Euphoria, or more object-oriented than Euphoria users are comfortable with. Some will find an un-Euphoric flavor an advantage ~-- the toolkit itself and third party documentation may be easier to understand, or there may be considerable effort to "transform" the toolkit away from its original design.
